EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are the first commencement Regulations made under the Wales Act 2017 (c. 4) (“the Act”).

Regulation 2 brings into force provisions of the Act relating to Welsh tribunals including those establishing and making further provision about the office of the President of Welsh Tribunals, and those relating to cross-deployment of members of the Welsh tribunals to other Welsh tribunals and cross-deployment of tribunal members and judges between the Welsh tribunals and the First-tier and Upper Tribunal.

These provisions come into force four months after the day on which these Regulations are made or, if later, the first day on which regulations about selection and appointment of the President come into force.
